    this probably applies to a lot of things on the server. I wouldnt be surprised if it applies to compounding etc. too

    Im not sure if that either boost the next l2 store sales, if ppl think i need to buy all on first day to get something, or if it will brake them down if people think im late already all items given out and will not put money into store after few hours

    there are probably resets inbetween. It will not be the whole pool at server start. For eg. 1 lindvior per day or 1 per week etc.

    Any enchant and compounding has a rate exactly to control the speed with which the boosted items appear, I'm surprised it's news to everyone.
    The thing is you never know when the rate works in your favor, even with widely known rates like enchanting or epic drop. Cannot confirm on the "works only during the first day" because it's not hardcoded anywhere in the system, just the rate.

    As explained in the previous message, it's not exactly how it works, there's no hardcoded 1 or 2 earrings, just the rate, but we usually predict more or less how much of value can be input in order to keep the economy stable. There are parameters to check if the given event is ok for the given economy or not. The total value of the input items is more important in this aspect than the exact number of exact items. But it is not hardcoded either, just regulated via the event item drop rate and exchange rates. That's pretty common sense game design.

    Players had this as a theory and many played l2store gamble events during the 1st day only but its not possible to confirm it or just simply count it as a part of many propabilities. Not to mention that players dont have access to ALL the data of event rewards distributed, only their clanmates' and friends' ones and even those can be unreliable.

    With a game ~15 years old probably even the Koreans don't know all the variables and math (+ bugs influencing those). It's ancient spaghetti code.

    ummm...... ok. XD

    Good update. My only question is, will the event rewards be good (like the dragon egg event) or 5% chance to get a lvl 3 dye after 5h farm like some previous recent event (trash)?

    - in the old days when buff lasted 20 minutes the standard price was whatever adena a player could make in a given zone- SS cost+ a little extra. So you paid 200k and made 250k- 30k shots+ drop/spoil. Ideally the npc charge would be similar. Not 200k, but whatever amount an average player in newbie gear can make in given lvl range. Would it be 1kk for lvl 97? If he can complete sos quest in that time and make 1.2kk in the process, it would be good price. (numbers pulled out of my ****, further research and calculations required xP)

    - before this "newbie box" arrives there will be new patch and lvl 105 will be the "new 101", thus pushing the problem a few lvls ahead, not solving it. In the ideal situation buffing lower lvl area drop would help new player, but those areas would immediately get infested with bots and oldbros looking for easy farm spot. Some sort of daily that gives r/r95 crafting mats (a couple, so after few days you can craft something, not after 2 months) and recipes.. maybe? Something not too great so old players won't farm it but also not so crappy that new players won't touch it (a lot of <99 quests are one time or waste of shots).

    i hope the carrot event give good rewards this time. and we dont spend hours of farming for 2 GEM R or 1 bsoe. non donors already are pissed off with how game is going so with an another nerfed farm event will be even worse and many will stop play daylie.

    hm, no. the question is more like: if 10 players have been lucky enough to succeed a specific thing, then player 11 will have much worse odds.
    thats why taka said what he said
